Gauging Your Distraction while driving

New studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel. This game measures how your reaction time is affected by external distractions. Regardless of your results, experts say, you should not attempt to text when driving.

Funny little game.

Damn that is hard lol. Luckily I have an Iphone and can't even imagine trying to text while driving. Least with the old blackberry I could fire them off not looking thanks to having actual keys.

Holy crap! i sucked at this game.

I didn't screen cap mine but I got a 0 and 6%. Which I have no idea because for the longest time I wouldn't even change lanes.

0.1 seconds slower while texting and 0% missed while texting. Not exactly a good advertisement for NOT texting.

..cool but i don't think its accurate at all. i never even look at my cell when i text as i know the keys already.

Vent time!

Any moron that text's during driving, OR movie watching should be beaten upside the head. You have no idea the amount of times some jerkoff has been texting not paying attention and came so close to hitting me ON MY BIKE. There should be a lock feature if any cell phone tracks that it is going faster than 10 mph than it disables texting. You need to stay off the dam phone while driving so I can live to see another day, also for those that think it is fine to talk without a hands free deice ITS NOT so quite being cheap and go buy a blue tooth. Okay I feel better.

Same, but the game itself is a bit easy, but it does prove a point.

Yeah, I teach a driver safety class twice a month, so I know the statistics. Texting is the worst thing a person can do while driving other than falling asleep.

This game is an epic fail for getting the "dont drive and txt" idea across...0.05 seconds slower with 0% more gates missed.
